CAST: Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro (in that order on the credits!)

PLOT: The story is based on a controversial, 1991 ‘non-fiction’ book called The Feather Men by explorer and former SAS man Sir Ranulph Fiennes who becomes a target in the movie. A former Special Operations agent called Danny (Statham) leaves his Australian ranch to save his mentor, Hunter (De Niro). Clive Owen is a pensioned-off SAS soldier with a ridiculous moustache.

GOOD POINTS: Some action sequences are exciting. Reduced to a bit part now that he’s 68, Captain Bob still doesn’t look too out of place when fully tooled.

BAD POINTS: Oscar-nominated for a short film in 2004 called Everything In This Country Must, debut director Gary McKendry fails to make sense of the tiresome, convoluted script.

SHOULD I SEE IT? Enthusiasts for 1980s’ cars will find them much much more interesting than the characters.
